The contributions provide new perspectives on several topics of current interest for syntactic theory on the basis of comparative data from a wide range of Germanic languages. Among the theoretical and empirical issues explored are various ellipsis phenomena, the internal structure of the DP, the syntax-morphology interface, the syntax-semantics interface, Binding Theory, various diachronic developmenLinguistik aktuell ;Bd. 191.Germanic languagesGrammar, ComparativeGermanic languagesSyntaxElectronic books.Germanic languagesGrammar, Comparative.Germanic languagesSyntax.430/.045Ackema Peter1965-906308MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462357703321Comparative Germanic syntax2026906UNINA03524nam 2200697Ia 450 991045905830332120200520144314.01-282-79022-697866127902250-520-94719-310.1525/9780520947191(CKB)2670000000055558(EBL)610811(OCoLC)673417644(SSID)ssj0000419533(PQKBManifestationID)11304950(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000419533(PQKBWorkID)10383938(PQKB)11261625(StDuBDS)EDZ0000056156(MiAaPQ)EBC610811(DE-B1597)518772(OCoLC)1018083341(DE-B1597)9780520947191(Au-PeEL)EBL610811(CaPaEBR)ebr10420281(CaONFJC)MIL279022(EXLCZ)99267000000005555820100422d2010 ub 0engur||#||||||||txtccrHeroes of empire[electronic resource] five charismatic men and the conquest of Africa /Edward BerensonBerkeley University of California Press20101 online resource (375 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-520-23427-8 Includes bibliographical references and index.Frontmatter --Contents --List of Illustrations --Acknowledgments --Introduction --1.

Hubert Lyautey and the French Seizure of Morocco --Epilogue --Notes --IndexDuring the decades of empire (1870-1914), legendary heroes and their astonishing deeds of conquest gave imperialism a recognizable human face. Henry Morton Stanley, Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza, Charles Gordon, Jean-Baptiste Marchand, and Hubert Lyautey all braved almost unimaginable dangers among "savage" people for their nation's greater good. This vastly readable book, the first comparative history of colonial heroes in Britain and France, shows via unforgettable portraits the shift from public veneration of the peaceful conqueror to unbridled passion for the vanquishing hero. Edward Berenson argues that these five men transformed the imperial steeplechase of those years into a powerful "heroic moment." He breaks new ground by linking the era's "new imperialism" to its "new journalism"-the penny press-which furnished the public with larger-than-life figures who then embodied each nation's imperial hopes and anxieties.Mass mediaFranceHistory19th centuryMass mediaGreat BritainHistory19th centuryExplorersEuropeBiographyExplorersAfricaBiographyAfricaDiscovery and explorationEuropeanElectronic books.Mass mediaHistoryMass mediaHistoryExplorersExplorers916.04/2309224Berenson Edward1949-997230MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459058303321Heroes of empire2450158UNINA01618nam 2200529 450 991078807310332120230803195929.092-871-7970-0(CKB)2670000000574134(SSID)ssj0001397302(PQKBManifestationID)11906205(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001397302(PQKBWorkID)11415382(PQKB)11239287(MiAaPQ)EBC3138782(Au-PeEL)EBL3138782(CaPaEBR)ebr10961387(CaONFJC)MIL655894(OCoLC)900687784(EXLCZ)99267000000057413420141116h20142014 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtccrThe accession of the European Union to the European Convention on Human Rights /Johan CallewaertStrasbourg, France :Council of Europe Publishing,2014.©20141 online resource (107 pages)Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph92-871-7852-6 1-322-24614-9 Human rightsEuropean Union countriesCivil rightsEuropean Union countriesHuman rightsCivil rights341.481094Callewaert JohanCouncil of Europe.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788073103321Accession of the European Union to the European convention on human rights1071084UNINA
